beadles are an old private police force - see http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19683562 (video) for a bit more on them.
I suspect that the laws of hot persuit may well enable the police to enter any of these places if needed. AFAIK they can certainly force entry to a private dwelling without a warrent if they think a wanted person is in there. On the other hand, IANAL.
